1599 Geneva Bible
4 And the King went to [a]Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the chief high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.
5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
6 And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, [b]when he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee: and thou hast [c]kept for him this great mercy, and hast given him a son, to sit on his throne, as appeareth this day.
